I'm playing around with how to skip certain software to be updated.
Im trying to skip thunderbird as a test but i can't seem to get it right.
from my understanding this needs to be done through the registry in windows:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patch My PC

I have added a dword32 with data point 1 with the name of SkipMozillaThunderBird
but this doesn't work.

what am i missing?

Thanks for a awesome product!

Did you right-click the checkbox and choose the skip option?

Hi Justin,
no i didn't. I was hoping the reqhack would do the same thing?
can't it be done through the registry? or ini file instead of clicking the application?

Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC)

Is the regvalue you added the same added when doing a right-click and skipping?

offerlam

when i choose to skip no value is added in registry ... should it do that?

Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC)

It may be a bug. We will need to look into this for a future update.

when should the program write to registry?

just to be clear. im looking here:
